TypingTestExamITAT Senior Private Secretary 2026 guide with confirmed 120 WPM English shorthand and 45 WPM typing, plus clearly marked general practice defaults.
Confirmed requirements
The Senior Private Secretary skill test is in English, with 120 WPM shorthand and a 45 WPM typing/transcription requirement. Working knowledge of Word, Excel and PageMaker is also required.
Selection sequence
Candidates progress from the written examination to the skill test and then a 75-mark personal interview. The circular states that skill-test and interview performance contribute to final ranking.
What remains pending
Do not treat a 10-minute dictation or any borrowed SSC/NTA error formula as an ITAT rule. Exact minutes, marks and mistake limits must be updated from ITAT’s later notice.
Accuracy safeguard
Recruitment bodies may publish a later schedule, admit-card instruction or software notice. When it differs from this page, the later official document controls. General defaults on this page are provided only so candidates can begin useful practice without mistaking an estimate for an official rule.
